Does Cowboys WR Dez Bryant have it all figured out? Jason Garrett gives his answer

IRVING — During training camp, Dez Bryant’s teammates and coaches proclaimed the young receiver was a changed man. They said that he was in better condition, was more consistent in practice and had a firm grasp of his duties.

All the while, Bryant remained silent, choosing not to speak since his mid-July arrest on a family violence charge involving his mother. That changed Wednesday when he opened his mouth after catching four passes for 85 yards in the Cowboys’ 24-17 victory over the Giants.

In a session with the media, Bryant affirmed what others had said about him.

“I’m very comfortable,” he said. “It takes time. Learning everything is not easy. You have to put the time and the work in to get it done.”

While head coach Jason Garrett says Bryant has done just that, he stopped short of declaring Thursday that the wideout has no more room for growth.

“For us to say Dez Bryant has it all right now I think would be an injustice to him and it wouldn’t be real good coaching,” he said. “It wouldn’t be a real good approach by him. He’s got to get better at everything he does just as every player on our team and certainly every member of our coaching staff has to get better. So we don’t live in the world we got it all down pat.”
